However, there are a couple of items that some times you just need to spend the money on. One of these is a suit. Have I found a suit that fits me well and just needed minor alterations, off the rack and for a great price? Yes (Navy Calvin Klein 2 Button for $75; future post later). But...this is extremely rare.
If you can invest in a suit, literally INVEST in it. Buying a well made, properly fitted suit, is an item that can and will last you years, and I mean years. Go to the MTM (Made-to-Measure) route if you can. MTM route takes a pre-existing pattern of a suit and cut the length of the jacket, sleeves, bring in the waist to fit you. Or go the much better yet more expensive route Bespoke. If you're hard to fit like me this is your best bet. Pricey? Yes. Worth it? Hell yes!
Who do I recommend? Michael Andrews Bespoke in New York City. (More on them soon)
